Hi, Evan, Gordon, Leigh and Velma! Here comes more criminals and
a brutal crime, where one of our relatives took part in. His
name was Lars Olufsson. I will write more about him later, when
he have finished translating all his crimes. Because he was a
notorious criminal in the Torsås area in the 17th century.
Best regards, cousin Per
A great problem in 17th century was the many
highwaymen and bandits who operated in the borderlands between
Småland and Blekinge. Stealing, fights, killings and other
crimes were frequent. Thick-skinned and indecent fellows who
ranged in the forests committed these crimes. Such bandits were
Anders Smålänning, Joan Styckie, Lowa-Jonn, Bastare-Håkan etc.
Most notorious of them all were Håkan Trulsson (called Tjuva
Håkan=thief Håkan) and Lars Olofsson (called Lönbo-Lasse).
In 1686, the Sunday after Midsummer Day, came Håkan Tyggesson together with Lönbo-Lasse and Tjuva-Håkan to Jöns Nilsson in Glosebo. But he was in the church at the moment, so they could easily fish pikes in the mere near to the farm. When Jöns Nilsson came home, they started to argue about the fishing earlier that day. Tjuva-Håkan and Lönbo-Lasse mingled in the fight, and Tjuva-Håkan went forward to Jöns and said that he (Jöns) had spoken badly about Tjuva-Håkan to the parson. Jöns denied that, but Håkan took a few steps back, raised the rifle and shot Jöns. The criminals fled from the scene of their crime, and the next day Jöns died. Håkan Tyggesson was judged for the participation in the murder. But in front of judge he told a story of how the day of the killing of Jöns, had done innocent pleasures. Fishing of pikes and hunting wild-ducks. He managed to convince the judge that he was innocent. He was set free, but he was judged to pay fine for trade with stolen properties (another crime not related to the killing of Jöns Nilsson). Tjuva-Håkan was judged for the murder, but he managed to flee. Soldiers were sent after him, but it took nearly two years before the justice caught him up. In May 1688 Tjuva-Håkan visited Amund in Skälstången. Amund gave him food and Scandinavian vodka. When Tjuva-Håkan swaggered about all crimes he had done, Amund lost his temper and with an axe-head hit him twice in the head. Tjuva-Håkan died, but Amund wasn't charged for the killing. The legality in the killing of Tjuva-Håkan was never questioned.
Hi, Leigh! Thanks for the attached files. I have put in some in the data
about Christina and August and their children. In fact I was in contact
with Andrew Peterson, and he thought that August Norlin's first wife
Louise was a sister to Christina. But I don't believe that, because I
haven't found any evidence for that theory, and now on the pages you
send me I saw he had written a John Anderson as Louise Norlin's father.
Anyway, have you got in contact with Andrew Peterson? I haven't heard
anything from Jörgen Danielsson yet. He wrote that he was busy this
week, but that he at the end of the week will try to send some pictures.
I look forward to see them. When I get them I will send them to you.
Maybe it will take some time. I noticed you have changed a little bit on
your homepage. Are you preparing for more picture of Wilbur Larson's
offsprings? I have thought of a couple of questions, I want to ask you.
Have Peter I:son Fröberg been in contact with you? I gave him the
address to your homepage. But in fact I don't know if he has Internet at
all. Then I wonder whether someone other Lars Pehrsson relative have
been in contact with you. You had written the names of Clara Johanna
Lewis and Henry Lewis, but still there were no information, only their
names. I also notice that you haven't got all information of the crimes,
so I send you the next part of "Lönbo-Lasse" crimes.
>From: "Leigh Larson"
Best regards, Per People was satisfied and calmed down when Tjuva-Håkan was executed. Earlier that year Lönbo-Lasse had also been condemned to death and was now in safe custody on Kalmar castle. They just awaited the court of appeal to ratify the death sentence. But they shouldn't be rid of him that easy. His origin name was Lars Olsson/Olufsson. In his youth he served four years as a soldier. Even then he had stolen things and had to run the gauntlet six times in Vassmolösa. Later he joined the band of highwaymen, who lived in the forests. During a few years he had operated together with Tjuva-Håkan, who had been a loyal servant to him. The second intercession day 1686, they went to Anders Larsson in Buskabod, Fridlevstad. He was away on the morning service. Every man was in the church, so the thieves could operate undisturbed. A few women were left but Lasse and Håkan got rid of them by lock them up in a cottage on the farm. It was the hope chest they wanted. Håkan kept watch while Lasse in peace and quiet could take the expensive articles: 9 silver belt, 16 silver chains, 5 silver spoons, 2 silver rings, 2 pair of leather breeches, 10 chamois leather, 1 coat with silver buckle, skirts, shoes, trousers, sweaters, gloves, caps, various jewelry in silver etc. In "Danska Flyen" they unlawfully had taken silver and clothes, and in Elmbo, Konga jurisdictional district, they had stolen one silver spoon and on cheese, while the owner watched. But Lasse had much more than these crimes on his conscience, and the jury and the peasantry in Torsås and Vissefjärda parishes complained miserable about his and his fellow's indecent robberies, which filled the people with terror. But now he was jailed in Kalmar castle, in safe custody. They all believed. The court of appeal changed the verdict, from death to run gauntlet twice and then work the rest of his life with iron collar in Marstrand. After he had ran gauntlet he managed to escape twice from those who should take him to Marstrand. Soon he was back in his home districts, but he didn't dare/risk to stay at his wife's house. Instead he lived in the forests between Lönbo and Glosebo. He hoped to get pardon from the king so he kept quiet for a year without making any people any hurt. There were many that were accused in front of the judge because they during this time had housed or given him food and drink. It was worst for Maria Persdotter in Öjebomåla who had let him in while the manservants tried to catch him. She denied, but was convicted when they found Lasse's coat hanging in her hall. Then she confessed that she had helped him escaped from the window when they sheriff entered. For her offence she was whipped. But it didn't take long time before Lasse was back in the game again. Six weeks before Easter in 1690, he met Ingier Åkesdotter in Långemåla in Tvings parish. She became a loyal companion. The day after Easter they went north on false passport. According to Lars the meaning was that he should get work in Kopparberget and by that save his own life. Outside Linköping they were caught and removed to Kalmar castle. In June 1690 pro tempore district court-session was held in Vassmolösa to hear Lars Olsson. The session continued in two days, during which Lasses whole register of his sins passed in review before a big public. Except for stealing, he was accused of various faults. In Kroksmåla while the people was in church, he had frightened the old man Jon Persson and his wife (who were at home and watched the farm) so they were forced to flee to the forest. Whereupon he undisturbed could grabb whatever he wanted. At Tygge in Skruvemåla, Gumme in Petamåla and Per in Hägemåla, he had stolen silver. In Torhult he had hit Per Germundsson, taken food and drink, barked on his wife and fired his rifle, so the wad had fallen on a maid carrying Per's child. Boatswain Hindrich Malm was hit with the rifle under the left ear. A purse, which Lasse had when they captured him, consisted of silver (which had stolen from Johan Svensson in Långasjö). A leather purse contained with witchcraft articles, among these a snakehead, a fetal membrane, rowan, a raven heart etc. He had been given the things on the way to Marstrand, but he said that he didn't know what the purpose with the things was or the name of the man who had given him these things. It was illegal to devote to black magic. Many people came to the judge and accused Lars for thefts, they believed Lars had done. Lasse answered them by saying they shouldn't accuse him for things he hadn't done. Lasse told that there were people who committed crimes. He continued to say that Per Löf's wife in Bungamåla, had asked him to get her arsenic to kill her stepson. Lasse also knew what Gertrud Jonsdotter in Stålberg should mix in the drinks to get rid of an uncomfortable witness. Lars Olsson was exorted consider his eternal souls blessedness and truthful confess what more he had done those years he spent in the forest. But he claimed that he had nothing more to admit and applied for pardon. The Judge for second time condemned him to death. This time the sentence was carried out. He was hanged October 1, 1690.
